BFL Sock Yarn in Cardinal
Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) is a fine wool that is often described as soft and shiny with excellent drape. It would be wonderful for a shawl or a flowing cardigan. The nylon adds strength and durability, so this yarn would also be perfect for socks.
Hand dyed, superwash, sock/fingering weight yarn. 464 yards/100 grams. 75% superwash Bluefaced Leicester wool, 25% nylon. Yarn is dyed in Cardinal colorway; variegated shades of deep red to purple with hints of black and teal.
Knitting Gauge: 7-8 sts = 1" on #1-3 needles
Crochet Gauge: 21-32 sc = 4” on #B-E hooks
Yarn is hand dyed by me in small batches in my smoke free, dog friendly home. Listing is for one skein of yarn; any props or accessories in photos are not included in purchase. Color of yarn may vary slightly due to differences in screens and the nature of handmade items. Please hand wash, lay flat to dry and wash with care as color may bleed.
I strive to be sustainable as possible in my work. I use metal free acid dyes, avoid single use plastics and reuse packaging material when I can.
